The Minister of State for Labour and Employment and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Festus Keyamo (SAN), on Tuesday described the past drug allegation against the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, as “useless”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that writing on his verified Twitter handle, the Delta-born APC chieftain also lambasted the ‘Obidient’ movement, who he said are “so deceitful, so fraudulent and so conceited”. ‘Obidients’ are staunch supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.
A Twitter user had shared the April 2022 Clearance Certificate of Obi in respect of the presidential primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The social media user also posted Obi’s resignation from the PDP in May 2022. Recall that days after leaving the PDP, in the same month, the former Anambra State governor emerged as the Labour Party presidential candidate.
Reacting to that particular tweet, Keyamo wrote: “When you show them this, they say it is pre-election issue of wrong nomination or qualification to run, so case closed. But in their own estimation, their own case of alleged wrong nomination of Kashim Shettima or the useless so-called drug case against @officialABAT, which are also issues that go to wrong nomination or qualification to run are not pre-election issues and can be brought before the Court of Appeal.
“I have never seen a set of people in my whole life that are so deceitful, so fraudulent and so conceited than these characters.”
